YOUTH PROGRAMS

Community Engagement Program “Art Camp for under 22, Vol. 2”

Conducted in Japanese
Please see Japanese-language webpage for details.

Over the years, Mori Building Company and the Mori Art Museum have collaborated with artists from across the globe to run a variety of programs at the Museum and out on the streets. Summer 2018 saw the launch of a new “Art Camp” program targeting younger art-lovers aged 15 to 22; giving them the opportunity to discuss “contemporary art” with artists and curators in a different environment from the usual school format of “teacher” and “taught,” employing the Museum and entire Roppongi Hills neighborhood as a canvas. Talking with others encourages participants to think about current happenings at home or school, historical events, social, political and cultural developments in the wider world, and the connection of all these with contemporary art, helping them to explore interesting and enjoyable aspects of contemporary art.

This second “Art Camp” will run on the theme of “art and fashion.” As part of day-to-day living, we all wear clothing and thus have a relationship with color, material, and form. The social function of clothing is another major element. Like art, fashion can be described as an expression of the social mores, politics and technological developments of the time. This round of “Art Camp” will consider the relationship between the two.
